He played to his strengths, rather than his weaknesses. Akuei was similar: he used his athleticism and stopped his opponent from getting the ball. He had 13 taps, something he hasn't done this year to date. Glass-McCasker got 5 taps and provided a decent target in the forward line. All up, we had more taps, without an acknowledged ruck. That was great.Personally, I think this worked out heavily in our favour, we had so so much run and mobility from the trio that played we didn't really miss Mirkov at all!
